William Horseman Sr and son Joseph

William Horseman Sr and son Joseph

I am looking for assistance in locating the court records for when William Horseman took his son Jospeh to court and was awarded $20 as a judgement. These are my husband's ancestors. According to the transcription of William's Will in the ealry 1800's he leaves to his son Joseph the $20 that he was awarded from the courts. We are very interested in what caused a father to take his son to court. If anyone could assist me with this it wold be greatly appreciated
